Married me because I had something she wanted

I'm the last of my family that I know of, and I own a small farm of 63 acres. I don't farm; I work via the internet and prefer the quiet of the countryside to the noise of the city or towns. At 30 and not in any relationship, I became the focus of Heather, 26, the youngest of a family of three children. Her family was the wealthiest in the state; they wanted Heather married. Her free-wheeling lifestyle was funded by the family. Told to settle down and start a family or have no access to the family money. She loved horse riding and owned her own horse; the family decided not to pay for her horse's stabling anymore as a way to force her to comply. That's when she focused on me; I had acreage and an old barn she could stable her horse in. So, she started getting to know me better, getting closer to me each day. At the end of the month, her horse would be removed from its stable, and she had nowhere else to take it. Her money allowance was withdrawn, so she couldn't afford anywhere else either. Before we had met, we were just people we each knew casually. Her sudden interest in me was a bit of a shock; I didn't know at the time about her family's ultimatum. She stayed over one night a week before her horse would be homeless, then stayed over the next night as well. The following morning, she asked if she could move in with me. I said yes; she moved in the next day, the day after she brought her horse to my farm. Living with me was just supposed to be till her family changed their minds. But I bought my own horses so I could go riding with her. I had made a mistake; I had seen a good-looking horse on an auction website. I bid and won the online auction, but hadn't read the details. I hadn't bought one horse; I had bought seven. I had seen the horse in front of the others and thought it was the only one I was bidding on. I had outbid a pet food company. Heather was delighted; I pretended I was after the whole seven. After six months living together, her family hadn't changed their minds. Nature took its own course; we messed up having sex in some way, and she got pregnant. Her family suddenly became very interested in our relationship, not against it. But wanted it legal, wanting us to marry. I was okay with marrying Heather; she took two days to agree. We are now married, and she told me why she suddenly started our relationship. I surprised myself; I just accepted it as a normal start to a relationship. Our baby girl is due in December; my mother-in-law is a very regular visitor at the moment.
